Confess

I cannot confess A jester dances over my black heart Pulling the threads to pull me apart Just another mess Eradicate the gossiping moon The dead sit with a hand upon my shoulder And I feel so much colder But my death it is all too soon I'm no longer here So if you search for me I won't be found I slipped out of the window without a sound Awakening your darkest fear The black sky serenades my escape I'm like a convict trying to escape my own life But what can I do when I know only this strife I'm not some superhero wearing a cape The clouds don't want to hear of my sins The stars are flickering as if they're about to explode And I wish, I wish that I could simply unload All of my losses and all of my wins I'm no longer here I left Earth's callous sonnet hours ago With all the secrets only I will ever know And all that you hold dear Only the sun could undress my deepest secrets To divine the source of my deepest sorrows But for me there will be no tomorrows Leaving behind all my regrets I cannot confess A jester dances over my black heart Pulling the threads to pull me apart Only in death my I coalesce
